Recommended: The use of ethos,pathos and logos

Many political cartoons often contain rhetoric device, such as pathos, ethos, and logos. Ethos often is the speaker, pathos is the audience, logos is the subject. In my political cartoon, Barack Obama is holding an image of the Pope and the Pope is smiling, there is a blurb from Obama saying "Thought you might like this!". The faces in this political cartoon are very exaggerated, giving a very comedic feel. Obama's chin was made longer and he has huge ears. The Pope wasn't given a neck in this cartoon, as well as a big forehead. It makes the audience laugh due to the ridiculous illustrations. Ethos is established by credibility, morals, and ethics of one. In this political cartoon, there are two ethical characters: Barack Obama,

    Pathos is the author's use of emotions and sympathy to urge the audience to agree with his or her standpoint. And lastly, logos apply sound reasoning (logic) to attract the typical ideas of the audience and to prove the author's point of view. "Lockdown" by Evans D. Hopkins is a fine example of an author using these appeals to persuade his audience. Hopkins uses of the three appeals are easy to locate and relate to throughout the entire passage. He undoubtedly uses rhetoric to try and keep his audiences focused and to persuade them to feel the way he does about the treatment of prisoners.

    The tone of this cartoon is more serious than comical because yes, it is sending a serious message; it is also being comical in ways on Bill Clinton’s head being out of proportion of his body. The FBI officers are smaller than everyone else and Donald Trump is coming in with a wrecking ball and saying” I condemn this property, disgusting!!” to demolish the house and his head being abnormally large comes as comical. The tone of this illustration on the reader is telling them to beware of the Clintons because of how much they have hidden from the American people and their government. The setting of this cartoon is Hillary and Bill Clinton’s house, where all the chaos and corruption had began. There is so much going on, it is like a train wreck and you can’t help but watch. The events in this cartoon actually happened. The Clintons tried hiding it all in their little house of deceit and lies until like a house of cards it all came crashing

  • Political Cartoon Analysis: Get Trumped

    Even if one has been living under a rock, it’s a safe bet to assume that the name Donald Trump rings a bell. In the recent slew of Republican candidates putting their hats in the race for president, Donald Trump has quickly taken the spotlight. While his loose cannon of a mouth, unfiltered thoughts and slightly humorous attacks on other candidates seems to have struck a chord with the American people. Some may view this behavior as asinine and egotistical. On the other side of the spectrum there is retired neurosurgeon, Ben Carson. A well spoken intellectual candidate that started out as a grassroots hero is now making large gains in various polls. Political cartoon extraordinaire, Dana Summers has created a telling scene that portrays Trump’s ego, interrupted with a smiling Ben Carson tapping him on the shoulder. Dana Summers uses visual components such as; the red hat with writing, the speech balloons and the

  • The Rhetoric Behind Political Cartoons

    1353 Words  | 3 Pages

    Cartoons date back many generations in time, and have been created for humoristic purposes for centuries. Mort Gerberg shaped cartoons and paved the way for many other cartoonists to rise to stardom. Gerberg was a professional cartoonist, whose works made appearances in The New Yorker, Playboy, Harvard Business Review, and The Huffington Post. Gerberg argues that cartoons cause the audience to think critically and analyze the rhetoric behind each work. He claims that cartoons are made of eight different things: cast, dialogue, caption, gesture, setting, cliché violation, composition, and cultural stereotype. Although all cartoons contain the previous characteristics, there are different types of cartoons as well. The most common form of a cartoon is a political/editorial cartoon followed up by comic strips, web comics, and cartoons in movies. One cartoon that stands out with a lot of humor behind it is the Trump for President political cartoon by Jos Collignon. Collignon is a Dutch cartoonist that is well known for his political cartoons. In 2009 one of his works won the Inktspotprijs, and then in 2012 Collignon won the Grand Prix Press Cartoon Europe. A careful examination of Jos

    In this political cartoon we clearly see a call to the National Recovery Administration (NRA) after taking into consideration the fact that it was created by Jim Morin in direct correlation to the shooting at the movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. We can see that this was made to mock the United States Government and its lack of initiative in resolving the tragedy that occurred. The man with the NRA hat is clearly controlling the government as they say that “we…will do nothing about it,” showing their strong influence over the nation’s leaders and their authority.

    Political and editorial cartoons are created as a way to visually bring a topic to the public's attention. These cartoons often times satirize a political figure, event, or problem occurring at that time. These illustrations are meant to simplify an event while also allowing the viewer to see the creators opinions and attitude toward that event, often times these opinions are biased ones. The cartoons chosen begin with the debate that Americans had over the war in Iraq. The controversy started with whether or not the United States should go to war at all. Back when it was published in 2003 the United States and Iraq went to war in order to remove Saddam Hussein from power, and it seems as though the citizens of the United States were more outspoken than ever about opposing the war. The two political cartoons shown below, by Adam Zygl and Mike Lane, offer two very different perspectives on the price people were paying for this war. The first shows the burden the American taxpayer at home had to
